Hello
I am seriously considering the 14 day pass but just want to double check it is worth it for my plans next March - I know that some routes have restrictions like Osaka to Koya, and Hiroshima to Fukuoka (slower trains only).
I am planning to active the pass on day 5 - Tokyo to Kanazawa
1 Friday 20th March - Arrive Narita AM
2 Sat 21st Tokyo day
3 Sun 22nd Tokyo
4 Mon 23rd - Tokyo - potentially Nikko day trip
5 Tue 24th - Kanazawa (will the new Hokuriku line be open and eligible to use my pass on? I heard it nearly halves the travel time)
6 Wed 25th Osaka
7 Thur 26th Mt Koya
8 Fri 27th Osaka
9 Sat 28th Nara
10 Sun 29th Himeji
11 Mon 30th Travel to Hiroshima via Osaka
12 Tue 31st Fukuoka day trip, back to Hiroshima
13 Wed 1st Hiroshima then to on to arimaonsen pm via Kobe
14 Thur 2nd on to Kyoto (30 mins from Shin-Kobe station?)
15 Fri 3rd Kyoto
16 Sat 4th Kyoto
17 Sun 5th Kyoto morning, back to Tokyo late pm (2 hrs journey)
